New product
Home Assistant SkyConnect is a universal Zigbee compatible USB adapter.
The Home Assistant SkyConnect is the easiest way to add Zigbee support to your Home Assistant instance.
A future firmware update will bring Thread support; this allows SkyConnect to be used to connect to Thread-based Matter devices.
The Home Assistant SkyConnect is compatible with the Raspberry Pi and other Home Assistant-supported Linux devices. The Home Assistant Sky Connect will allow you to easily set up and use Zigbee sensors and devices with your Home Assistant install, allowing even more automation and integration options for your home.
The adapter uses the same Silicon Labs chip used in the Home Assistant Yellow device (Silabs EFR32MG21). A USB extension cable is included in the package to avoid interference caused by USB 3.0 ports.
USB 3.0 ports (the ones with blue on the inside) are known to cause significant noise and radio interference to any 2.4Ghz wireless devices. This includes Zigbee and Thread. If you do not use the extension cable, it may not work at all, and if it does, it could be flaky at best with intermittent problems (issues with pairing, device dropouts, unreachable devices, timeout errors, etc).
